Want to start building fantasy swords, spears or axes? This is the place to start! Followed by millions of people from all over the world, Svetlana Quindt aka “Kamui Cosplay” published this beginner guide as part of her bestselling line of tutorial books.

Never underestimate the power of make-believe! Simply holding a cosplay axe can turn anyone into a Viking, no matter if it’s just made out of foam! Being able to actually make that axe yourself, however, is even cooler! In her typical bubbly way Svetlana talks about everything you will need to get started: choosing the right materials and necessary tools, figuring out the right scale, drawing blueprints, shaping, layering and detailing foam and thermoplastics, adding details and even how to take your props apart for easier transportation!

Over many years Svetlana has grown to be one of the most beloved and respected figures in the cosplay community. Still she loves nothing more than sharing her knowledge with others.

This book will inspire you to craft, explore, and–most of all–enjoy the excitement of making your own costumes.
